Abstract:
I-BEST is a recognized and successful IET model that helps adult learners access and succeed in postsecondary level career and technical programs. However, this robust model may not be the right fit for students at a lower skill level, and it can be a difficult model to implement for programs not closely engaged with a community college in their region.

Abstract:
Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, improving adult learners’ ability to attain a job with family-sustaining wages is a high priority. One vehicle to achieve this is Integrated Education and Training (IET) programs set within career pathways. While there are several professional development (PD) resources that introduce IET concepts and program models, many adult educators struggle as they put policy into practice and during the implementation phase. In particular, adult education and literacy instructors and technical skills instructors are challenged to create a single set of learning objectives. Program administrators likewise need guidance in supporting IET teachers effectively. This presentation will highlight recent, innovative approaches of the American Institutes for Research to support IET implementation among AEFLA providers across California. The co-presenters will describe PD strategies used in their implementation clinic and lessons learned. Participants will experience an interactive activity from the clinic and receive additional PD resources.

Abstract:
New Mexico ranks among the worst in the nation in educational attainment, poverty, violence, substance abuse, and suicide. With the advent of the WIOA legislation, a group of New Mexico adult education (AE) practitioners rallied to the call of building career pathways out of poverty and launched a radically innovative professional development initiative for elevating New Mexico to stand among our nation's top performers. Our C3 Initiative develops AE programs from "the inside out" to build Collaborations, Competency-Based Education, and Career Pathways programming. Design components include a three-year program commitment, a decision maker with two teachers from each program working for integrated change, program accountability with deliverables and increased responsibility, and the creation of a statewide professional learning community with a 33-week research-to-practice online curriculum. Our session shares knowledge and tools for supporting adult educators to unmask our brilliance and become leaders in the national career pathways movement.
